Romans 10:9 is a verse from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, which is a translation of the original Greek text into English. The verse reads as follows:

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

The deeper meaning of this verse is about how Christians should express their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The word “confess” means to acknowledge or admit something publicly or formally. The word “mouth” means to speak or utter words. The word “Lord” means to acknowledge Jesus as having authority and sovereignty over one’s life. The word “believe” means to trust or have confidence in something. The word “heart” means to have a sincere and genuine conviction or feeling. The word “God” means the Creator and Ruler of the universe. The word “raised” means to lift up or resurrect someone from the dead.

The context of this verse is that Paul is writing to the Christians in Rome, who are mostly Gentiles (non-Jews) who have heard about Jesus through the preaching of Peter and other apostles. Paul explains that salvation is not based on one’s ethnicity, culture, or background, but on one’s faith in Jesus Christ, who died for the sins of both Jews and Gentiles (Romans 3:28). Paul also quotes several Old Testament passages that show how God has promised to save those who believe in His Son (Romans 10:11-13).

The main point of this verse is that Christians should confess their faith in Jesus Christ with their mouth and believe it with their heart. This means that they should not only say that they believe in Him, but also demonstrate it by their actions and obedience. This also means that they should not only accept His death as a sacrifice for their sins, but also receive His resurrection as a guarantee for their future life.

Some possible applications of this verse are:

• We should confess our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior regularly and publicly.
• We should believe our faith in Jesus Christ with our heart sincerely and confidently.
• We should obey our faith in Jesus Christ by following His commands and teachings.
• We should share our faith in Jesus Christ with others by telling them what He has done for us.

This verse is one of the most important teaching of the Bible and the Christian faith when viewed as a philosophy.

• It gives the control to the people on how to save themself. It makes salvation a matter of choice.
• It indirectly teaches a form of deeper mental and emotional control to the follower. Despite not having any sensible encounter with Jesus and God, having this cognitove control gives them a positive outlook and a source of happiness from within. This is also despite the physical world proving inexistence of either Beings. Such is the power of cognitive dissonance.

However, problems may arise with faith built from cognitive dissonance based on this verses.

• A general problem with cognitive dissonance is that the follower may perform deeds that are harmful to themself or others because sometimes there is a big difference with intuition and reality.
• It is unclear from the verse what we are trying to be saved from.
• Many, if not all, of the people who built their faith from the feeling of being loved "unconditionally" will have a struggle at some point because of how conditional it really is in this verse.
